Nauvoo Vacation Day # 2

I wish that I could put on all of our videos along with all of our pictures, however that would be a serious overload! I will put on two videos that are my absolute favorites but that will not be until later. One video is of Jaycie.... and the other of a crazy lady! The first picture of Steve and I was just after we had slept a few hours on the train...if you couldn't tell my by face! Steve had already taken sooo many pictures at this point so I decided to pull a pouty face to let him know I was already sick of pictures!
Here is a picture of some town in Colorado. I think we lost track of all the places we made stops at. :)
These next few pictures don't really give justice to just how pretty the areas we went through were. In my opinion this area in Colorado made the long train ride and swollen ankles well worth the ride!
By the end of the day we were all very hungry and sick of having just snacks. We had about 30 minutes to spare when we made a stop in Denver Colorado. So the boys went to pick up ONE pizza at a place called Anthony's. The pizza was so big that I could only eat half of one piece!

Nauvoo Vacation Day # 1

To start our week long vacation off, Jaycie, Steve and I left Rexburg at 11:30 p.m. and headed to Salt Lake City. When we arrived there we met my family at Amtrak and we all got loaded onto the train where we were to begin our 30 hour long ride.

When we got on the train it was like 3:00 a.m. and everyone was sleeping. Dakota decided to explore a little and had put his tray down. However by doing that, it made a really loud noise and we were worried that the old people in front were going to be irritated. I think in this picture Dakota is trying his best to be quite and put the tray back up!

(Lots and Lots of pictures and stories to come!)

Graduation!

So even though I graduated almost two months ago I finally received my diploma in the mail last week! I was so excited! Now if only I could get myself to finish the paper work for my teaching license!

24 Weeks

The only reason I have a photo up here of me is because Steve has insisted we keep track of my baby bump. I think that I can hide the bump quite well because others that are due around the same time as me or even later are showing a lot more than I am. The bump is not very easy to see anyway in this picture probably because I am wearing black. Steve is already pestering me though, to take another picture, he thinks I have grown quite a bit in just a week. :) So here is my first baby bump at 24 weeks!
P.S. It has been so fun lately because now instead of just me being able to feel the baby move a few others have been able to too! Steve was able to feel the baby move for the first time a couple of weeks ago and I'd say he absolutely loved it! He had the BIGGEST grin on his face! Then just last night Parker (We're pretty sure that's what we are going to name this little guy) was moving around like crazy and Jaycie felt him move! I love it! Being able to see and feel my tummy move as he kicks makes the pregnancy even more real. I can hardly wait for him to come! Less than 15 weeks to go!

Birthdays

Steve and I recently celebrated our birthdays, mine being on the 26th of April and Steve's on the 4th of May. Being that our birthdays are so close together we decided to share our cake. I made an ice cream oreo cake. It had a layer of crushed oreo on the bottom, followed by a jar of chocolate, then a half gallon of peanut butter ice cream, then whipped topping with caramel and chocolate to top it off! (Very healthy I know...) We very much enjoyed our cake and so did those that came over to celebrate with us! Thank goodness Steve and I didn't have that whole cake to ourselves!

Most Already Know

Steve and I found out almost two weeks ago that we are going to be having a baby BOY! I had a feeling right from the beginning that it would be a boy. :) I was a little worried at first that we would have a hard time finding the gender just because I was only 18 weeks, however, we found out within the first ten seconds of the ultrasound! It was quite funny. One thing that was disappointing was that the lady doing the ultrasound forgot to start the DVD before she began the ultrasound. So we missed out on being able to keep some great shots of the baby. We couldn't get a very good profile shot of the baby because it's face was always up against the placenta. Ah! Everything looks really good though and Baby Dunn is healthy and growing fast! Steve and I are just so excited!

Picture Fun!

So I have been helping Steve with one of his assignments and it has actually been a fun one to help him with. He has to create a poster about himself and so I have been going through all of our photos. While doing this I noticed some pictures of Steve when he was younger that reminded me of some of my own. I thought that I would post some of those for fun. I'm still looking for two of mine to match up with two of Steve's. (Mom I may need your help!) Here they are:
These pictures happened at two totally different times and if I remember correctly neither of us were even with each other when this was happening. I wonder what our obsession with stink bugs was? YUCK! At least I never actually picked up the stinkbug.

Please excuse the nakedness... :)



Hopefully I will be able to find the others sometime soon and finish putting the rest on!
